Circulus pisanus Claudii Berigardi ... de veteri et perpatetica philosophia in Aristotelis libros octo Physicorum : quatuor De caelo : duos De ortu & interitu : quatuor De meteoris, & tres De anima ..
A 1661 Latin philosophy treatise by Claude Bérigard, printed at Padua by Paulus Frambottus, expounding Aristotle's Physics, De caelo, and De anima for university students of natural philosophy. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a winged cherub head framed by scrolls, leaves and a pendant, plus a horizontal strip and two mirrored faced cartouches with foliage. A designer might take the symmetrical scrollwork and the cherub-and-foliage vocabulary as models for borders, emblems or heraldic crests.
